    Because of offtopic posts like this and none of boths bussines, a great thread already has been closed, i'm refering to Fuggers cascade thread.

    So please don't let this happen again, let the man take care of his own bussines.

    Well said.

    Many people here have had problems in life, the difference is that they didn't decide to steal from and abuse the trust of the community in the process.

    At first the community tried to help, dozens of us including myself contributed a lot of money to 'the Chilly1 fund' (the thread of which has been deleted) but soon after it became obvious that a very large scale con had taken place.

    Over the next few years several posts were made by Chilly1 in which he stated his intentions to refund his many, many customers. The more cynical members may have viewed these posts as buying time in the hope that the out of pocket members would leave the community, the theft would be forgotten and "business" would return to normal.

    The theft is of tens of thousands of dollars and the victims were members who paid in trust, many from xtremesystems.

    Gentlemen, is it necessary to kick Reggie in the stomach every time he posts? I understand he owes a large debt to the community but trashing every thread/post he creates isn't a civil way to handle this.
    Chilly1 showed no compassion for the people he stole from.

    The fact is that the debt will not be repaid, many of the victims have already moved out of the community. I greatly doubt there is a record of the money owed let alone a mechanism of repaying it.

    Bringing up the past might not be civil but it is very effective.

    If there is no intention of repaying the debt, he should at least have the decency to disappear.

    How many people on these forums actually know everything about what happened?
    It started over 3 years ago and that's why it is important that those who remember don't let it go.

    Allow me to educate you on some fundamental mathematics:

    Let's say:

    Paying You Guys = A
    Focusing on New Projects = B

    To Pay your Debts, Chilly1 needs money, lets call this C. So A = C.

    Now to get money, he can do one of five things:

    1. Find a money tree
    2. Make money
    3. Win the lottery
    4. Find an oil pipeline
    5. Get a job as a Web Programmer in war torn Iraq (Seriously, they pay you like 240K its crazy)

    ANYWAY, the point is, the most realistic option from the above is option 2, so C = Make more money.

    In order to make more money, he needs to build more units, and thus focus on more projects, so C = building more units and getting more projects, which also happens to be B

    So C = B, and what do we have here? A = C also !!!

    A = C
    B = C

    Then that means ?!?! A = B !!!!

    So you see, him doing new projects = Paying your guys faster.

    See there? Wasn't so difficult to understand was it

    (Sidenote: The involvement of Mods and Admins in bashing Chilly will only encourage regular members to inflame the thread even further. It doesn't set a very good example)

    Sorry Perkam you know I love ya.....but

    do you think I give a flying about who flames reggie? It's an insult to XS that he even posted again. Tell me something?????? How can you work 12 to 14 hrs a day 6 days a week for 5 years and not have any money?

    WHEN EVERY SINGLE MEMBER HAS GOTTEN THEIR MONEY BACK then you come to XS and post about your new whatever.

    you know something else let's support someone that stole thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars from XS members that trusted him.

    sorry just that way I have always felt about this horrible situation.

    ps....and that's the nice version after re-reading your post.

    LOL. Here's more mathematics. He claims he's working all the days he can and he hasn't money to pay back anyone in how many years? Where the , mathematically, is he going to pull the extra time to do these projects to generate tens of thousands of extra???

    I love ya too Perkam BTW. :hug:

    Sorry to hear that, Reggie, but you have to understand the people who feel they have been scammed. Although I'm sure this wasn't your intention it sadly came out as a fraud. Cannot comment on your admin rights being pulled nor your ownership of this site as I don't know jack about it.

    I hope you overcome this eventually, my thoughts are with you.

    Best Regards,
    Niko

    Mr Reggie. While I can sympathize with your predicament it can't be ignored that here is where you plyed your wares and cost people a lot of money. If you want redemption, talk to God. ALL others pay CASH! If you are offended...think of the people who trusted you with THEIR hard earned cash. MAKE RESTITUTION!!! If this build (which I think everyone will admit is very enticing) is a way out for you and you start paying back the people you owe money to, fine. However, wiping the slate clean and no mention of your previous mismanagement, for what ever reason....is NOT ON.

    Just my 2 bits

    A couple of questions:
    1) How many people on these forums were involved ? (By that I mean people who actually lost something.)
    2) How many people on these forums actually know everything about what happened ? (That also includes moderators and admins.)
    3) How many people have been making uninformed judgements and comments about things in which they have no business ?

    I'm not going to pretend that I know everything which has happened - In fact I probably know very little about it. I know what it feels like to lose something and not be able to do anything about it, but I also know what it's like to have everyone under the sun jumping on the hate train - It's not nice, especially when those people don't know what really happened.

    I've always liked Reggie and the content and help which he has provided in the past. Obviously I don't know exactly how events played out but it's none of my business.

    Gentlemen, is it necessary to kick Reggie in the stomach every time he posts? I understand he owes a large debt to the community but trashing every thread/post he creates isn't a civil way to handle this. If you have been personally wronged by Reggie we have a section for this. If you want to vent your frustration you could take it up in Builder/Customer relations and I suppose I can lump it all into one thread. I don't ask that you welcome him with open arms, just don't trash every thread he posts in.

    Reggie I hope you can get back on your feet within a reasonable time frame. The economy is slowly crawling back to where we were a few years back, hopefully your business will pick up with it.

    [XC] gomeler,

    I can kind of understand where you are coming from. However there is one fact that cannot be denied. Quite a lot of money was paid for builds and those builds never happened. What the money was used for or how it was used if really of no importance. The fact is it was not used for the purpose intended. This by itself is a prosecutable crime almost anywhere in the world. That the economy sucks, personal issues arose or whatever does not justify using customers money for any other purpose.

    And then to make the following statement?

    Quote Originally Posted by chilly1 View Post

    This is a slap in the face to all that are owed money. And quite honestly, does not sound like a response from a person who plans to ever make things right.

    Changed the thread name and moved this to Builder/Customer Relations with a redirect left in the Phase Change section. If another mod/admin feels it necessary to close the thread or move it elsewhere feel free. This however does not belong in the Phase Change section.

    Soddom, what if you were in his shoes? The entire internet wants to hate him yet hardly anyone of that group were affected in any way by what happened. Do you understand that this was not something he planned with malice? Think carefully about who the real victim(s) is/are

    What ever happened regarding the account PayPal cleared out?

    I believe Reggie can work out his debts here.

    Picking at a wound never heals, rubbing salt into it surely helps.

    Personally maybe its best if he just comes back as a different user other than Chilly1.

    I think very highly of Reggie and would really like to see him back here sharing his knowledge!!

    EDIT: I don't mean to be rude, BTW. Just got narked for a second.
